Marijuana still illegal in Woodstock

WOODSTOCK >> A Woodstock woman is facing a felony drug charge for allegedly buying marijuana in Colorado, where recreational drugs are legal, and having it shipped to her home, authorities said.

Sheri I. Kastner was arrested by members of the Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team (URGENT) on Thursday and charged with felony criminal possession of marijuana.

Deputies said they were alerted by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office about a package containing marijuana en route to Woodstock that had been intercepted in Putnam County. Ulster authorities then conducted a “controlled delivery” operation at Kastner’s home and arrested her, URGENT said.
